Subject: [PATCH v2 01/10] ia64: use get_unused_fd_flags(0) instead of get_unused_fd()
Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2013 15:10:51 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <e592269fefdc1f0d2149d807d1d1300a1e86ee23.1376327678.git.ydroneaud@opteya.com> (raw)

In-Reply-To: <cover.1376327678.git.ydroneaud@opteya.com>
Macro get_unused_fd() is used to allocate a file descriptor with
default flags. Those default flags (0) can be "unsafe":
O_CLOEXEC must be used by default to not leak file descriptor
across exec().
Instead of macro get_unused_fd(), functions anon_inode_getfd()
or get_unused_fd_flags() should be used with flags given by userspace.
If not possible, flags should be set to O_CLOEXEC to provide userspace
with a default safe behavor.
In a further patch, get_unused_fd() will be removed so that
new code start using anon_inode_getfd() or get_unused_fd_flags()
with correct flags.
This patch replaces calls to get_unused_fd() with equivalent call to
get_unused_fd_flags(0) to preserve current behavor for existing code.
The hard coded flag value (0) should be reviewed on a per-subsystem basis,
and, if possible, set to O_CLOEXEC.
